Van Morrison Fame Will Eat The Soul
Fame will eat the soul and you just can't fake it
Fame will eat the soul and your heart will break
Fame will eat the soul till you just can't take it no more
It doesn't have no meaning when you're out on the street
Everyone you see is just trying to compete
And you're just trying to act like a normal Joe
Drank some darkness, didn't you?
Drank some darkness, didn't you?
Against the light within you
Against the light within you
Drank some darkness, didn't you?
Drank some darkness, didn't you?
Can't get back on the right track
Fame will eat the soul down in Hollywood Town
Things are goin' swell then you start breakin' down
Can't get control when every clown wants to take you down
You drank some darkness, didn't you?
You drank some darkness, didn't you?
Against the light within you
Against the love within you
You drank some darkness, didn't you?
You drank some darkness, didn't you?
Can't get back on the right track
Fame will eat the soul down in Hollywood Town
Things are goin' swell then you start to break down
You try to keep control, every clown wants to take you down
Fame will eat the soul, got to stay in your mansion
Fame will eat the soul, you can't take any chances
Even when you're outside, have to build a wall around you
Got to stop breakin' down
Fame will eat the soul till you just can't fake it
Fame will eat the soul and your heart's gonna break
Fame will eat the soul till you just can't take it no more
Take it no more
Stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down, baby
On the killing floor
On the killing floor
Stop breakin' down
Got to stop breakin' down
You got to stop breakin' down
In Hollywood Town
Stop breakin' down in Hollywood Town
Stop breakin' down, baby
Stop, stop, stop...
Stop, stop, stop...
Stop breakin' down
Stop breakin' down
Stop, stop, stop...
Stop breakin' down
